As. Alexandrov, REPLY TO THE COMMENT ON BOSON-FERMION MODEL BEYOND THE MEAN-FIELD APPROXIMATION, Journal of physics. Condensed matter, 10(13), 1998, pp. 3093-3094
There is no Cooper pairing in the boson-fermion model (BFM) if bosons
are not condensed. There is no Bose-Einstein condensation and, consequ
ently, no Cooper pairing in two-dimensional BFM. The Cooper pairing is
possible in a three-dimensional BFM if and only if bosons are condens
ed but can hardly be realized because of a charge-order instability.
